Found out it looks like a 4th gen prelude. But im not sure on the engine. Someone once told me they had it shipped from japan. The reason why im asking is hes wooping everyone and im wanting to build a dirt track car and want to keep up.lol. Or is there something that can beat it?

Yeah, that rear end sure looks 4th gen to me. Could be the Euro-R he swapped in, an h23vtec, who knows. What are the rules? Any?

I would guess an H22 as well, since it's a black top vc, unless he switched it out.
Which series though is the question.

Well at some tracks it only says turbo and some say both. Just in case ill stay away i think unless theres a way to disguise it lol. BUT they do not tech at all. All they check is tires for the same size.

ha ya its a 4th gen forsure...and the engine im guessing is a jdm H22 made to look like the H22A1...i know this because a close friend of mine is doing this and he is kickin *** at the track to. im sure if he is doing as good as you say then he is doing the same thing my friend is doing....that would be swapping the exhaust manifold (which is easy to hide with the manifold guard). running a chipped ecu, has alot of head work done to it. and added a 1 at the end of the JDM H22A so it reads H22A1. this will throw off anyone inspecting the engine. this setup was pushin like 20+ WHP for my friend ahead of the competition. im sure thats close to what this guy is doing

the car i posted above is completely stock other than the XXX point roll bar lol with a JDM f22 motor. Pulls on an h22 prelude down the back straight.

your talking dirt, not street. Completely different application. Its not necessarily power that gets you around the track the fastest. Turbo and supercharged is going to put you into the wall on a dirt track trying to exit the corner unless they allow you to run "dirt" tires in the class you are preparing for. Its the fastest lines, exit speeds and the ***** of the driver that gets the best times.

i suggest finding what class that car is running is and build your car based on that set of rules.

ump sport compacts. And if you follow the rules here you will get toast as the officials are just to lazy to tech.

yes, i realize a lot of people break the rules, but they also break rules that are not easily seen.

like porting heads, porting intake manifolds..etc. Slap a turbo/supercharger on there and tech will definitely see that.
